Centering

5-10 minutes of clearing the mind and prepping the body for practice - this can include breathing practices and some opening poses or light movements with breath. The focus during this time is fully clear the space of distractions and enter the present moment.

The sequences will be posted on Tuesday and Thursday, with a meditation once a week on Sundays.

Week 4, Day 2: Cooling and Calming Flow (Short Flow)

Yoga is about clearing away whatever is in us that prevents our living in the most full and whole way. With yoga, we become aware of how and where we are restricted - in body, mind, and heart - and how gradually to open and release these blockages. As these blockages are cleared, our energy is freed. We start to feel more harmonious, more at one with ourselves. Our lives begin to flow - or we begin to flow more in our lives. ~ Cybele Tomlinson

Pause for a second, close your left nostril with the ring finger and release your thumb off the right nostril. Exhale through your right nostril, inhale through right nostril, pause, close the right nostril, breathe out through left nostril and repeat for a few more rounds.
